Almost an insult to Titanic.
I reviewed this on BFG's Facebook page, I think. Did anyone else catch the spelling error? They were talking of the 'pour souls', not the 'poor souls' and some grammatical errors, which may be expected from some of the characters, but not from the instructions...
I do like the premise of the story, although unrealistic. Some things were so far off in left field. I had to find a couple of very odd items when a more obvious solution was applicable.
I think someone slept through proofreading and editing this game. I feel as if it was rushed (maybe for the 100th anniversary of the real life sinking?).
Send this one back. Let some fresh eyes, minds and imaginations work on this game, it has SO much potential, that I think it is one of the few that should get a re-do.
I did buy this game, mostly because I was curious of the outcome. Ah well. As I said in another review, the bones are good, but the meat of the game is rancid.

Wonderfully surprising!
After reading the reviews in the forums I'm blown away by this game. The graphics are excellent as well as the storyline. The puzzles which I normally skip with most games I solved right away. I like how this game is a different take on the different Titanic games I've played. I am definitely glad I tried it and bought it.

I expected more from Hidden Mysteries
Usually I like Hidden Mysteries. This one disappointed. The music and graphics were calm and pleasant but wait times and swirl about obtaining items in an HOS were tedious.
I liked the concept of a map being a blueprint and that it showed where actions could be performed.
Gameplay was not so intuitive as usual and I had to mouse-about quite a bit to find whatever it was I seemed to be looking for in each scene.
I gave up after helping the first ghost or is that just "gave up the ghost?"
Really didn't get any "Titanic" feel/vibe from the story.
Maybe for beginning easy and calm gentle Sunday?

Really like this one.
Reading the other reviews I tried this with a bit of skepticism
but was pleasantly surprised. I did not have to refer to the
walkthrough and after doing a few hints caught onto the
present/past portals and found using the map a lifesaver.
I found the HOS clear and some of the puzzles were a
challenge for me and admit I skipped a couple.I found the
storyline quite interesting. Finding and putting objects together for later use I thought was well done. Another
very enjoyable Hidden Mysteries game.

Meh... what ever
It's okay, I don't know if I'll buy it. Maybe if I get really really bored. The hog scenes were very easy. Finding out what to do next was a bit challanging at times. Unfortunatly logic dosn't help when trying to work things out. One of the reviews said that there was a map, it might have been there but I didn't notice it. But thats just me. Got to free the second guy but no further. It was good enough that I didn't want to quit the demo, but thats all.

Read the reviews, but I really like it
Apart from the obvious historical inaccuracies... I enjoyed this game. The time travel was interesting and who wouldn't like to go back and change it all? I thought the change of music between the now and the before was a nice touch. I'm a Titanic nut and I liked it.

Pretty Good Game
I enjoy games about Titanic, just to have a different viewpoint on the tragedy. This was an interesting play on the events and puts the player on the Titanic. I played this on the100th anniversary of Titanic's sinking which gave it an even more eerie feel.

Suspend your disbelief. This isn't just another Titanic Game.
I wasn't expecting to like this. Too much Titanic stuff out there. But, the play is engrossing, the music fantastic, the graphics in main (underwater) section & in the flashbacks are beautiful and so different.
Only one little thing. If the main character is spirit, how come she can't float over under and through places underwater? ok 2 things; she's under water and doesn't notice she isn't breathing or drowning? Suspend your disbelief and journey to the present, past, & everywhere inbetween! I like this frustrating, mesmerizing, fun game!!
